I mis-spoke and you are correct as to the location of his escape. The ruse was that he was being brought to Munfordville, Hart Co., Ky., for trial. In Volume I, 1861 of my book Kentucky Soldiers and Their regiments there are references to Hoblitzell for May 14; August 1, 30, 31; September 2, 3,4, 6; and December 6, 1861
